Very Rich, Very Thin Chocolate Lace Cookies

36 Servings

1/4 lb Butter-1 stick
2    Chocolate-unsweetened
Egg-slightly,Beaten
1/4 t  Salt
1/2 t  Vanilla
1/2 t  Baking powder
1/2 c  Flour
1 1/2 c  Sugar

Melt the butter and chocolate in the top of a double boiler. Combine
with egg and rest of ingredients. Drop by scant teaspoonfuls on greased cookie sheets. The finished cookies will be 3 to 4 inches in diameter so
space them accordingly.

Bake in preheated oven of 325 for about 12 minutes. Watch carefully
to prevent burning.  When nearly cool, remove from the cookie sheet
with spatuala. (I use the metal type.Hint-press under the cookie with
pressure against the sheet and they remove easily without crumbling)
Place on racks to cool completely.
